INDUCTORS
• It’s a device capable of storing energy by virtue of
current flowing through it.
• It opposes the current flowing through it and
induces a voltage.

CLASSIFICATION
Vp Np
Vs Ns
Where Vp = primary voltage
Vs = secondary voltage
Np= Number of turns in primary coil
Ns = Number of turns in a secondary coil.

RF TRANSFORMERS
• Can be iron or air core
• Used in applications with frequency>
50KHz.
• Ferrite core or powdered iron cores
are used.
• Windings are wound around a
ceramic material.
• They are shielded to reduce
undesirable coupling & feedback
effects.
• Shape of the core is like a threaded
form, like a screw.

POWER TRANSFORMER
• Power Tansformers are of two types:
1. Step Up Transformer
2. Step Down Transformer
• In step up transformers, the number of turns in primary
windings is less than that in secondary windings.
• In step down transformers, the number of turns in
primary windings is more than that in secondary
windings.
• Step down transformers are extensively used in dc
power supplies.
